Electronic Filing of court documents is now mandatory in Erie County through the New York State Court Electronic Filing System (NYSCEF). We look forward to you electronically delivering your court and other related court documents to our office.

e-Filing Erie County

As of Tuesday, October 1, 2013, under Chapter 184 of the laws of 2012, which authorizes mandatory e-filing in Erie County Supreme Court, will continue conversion from consensual to mandatory e-filing of court matters by expanding the types of cases now required to be electronically filed.

Erie County Clerk Jacobs advises that the new case types will be accepted through NYSCEF effective October 1, 2013 and includes all case types except Article 78 Proceedings, Matrimonial Actions, Mental Hygiene matters and action based upon Election Law.

Erie County is one of nine counties, out of sixty-two, in the state requiring cases be filed electronically through NYSCEF. The Erie County Clerk’s Office worked closely with Judge Paula Feroleto, Administrative Judge for New York’s 8th Judicial District, on this project and has partnered in numerous educational outreach efforts for local attorney’s to prepare them to the transition to electronic filing.
